2. Good morning, South Seminole. This is Mr. Bess, Assistant Principal Life can be uncertain, but there is one thing you can count on: all the choices you make come with consequences, both good and bad. Life throws choices our way every day, all day long. A wise person strives to make good decisions that will reap the best outcomes. A stubborn or unaware person will continually make unwise choices and he or she will live a life less fortunate than that of the wiser one..

3.  Developing positive character traits helps us make positive choices. On the other hand, holding onto negative character traits can take us down a road filled with unnecessary troubles.  Take a moment to look down the road. Are your choices taking you in the direction you want to go? Will they lead you down a road filled with unnecessary problems or lead you down a road filled with the best possible outcomes? With something to think about, this is Mr. Bess. Make it a great day… or not. The choice is yours.

4. Group Discussion 1.Have you ever made what you thought was a small decision, but it turned out to have a big consequence, either good or bad? 2. Do you frequently consider the consequences of your choices? Why or why not?
